Less than a week after a spring snowstorm hit Greeley, more unseasonal weather came to the area, but in a much shorter timeframe.

A severe thunderstorm warning was issued at 3:35 p.m. Saturday afternoon for central Weld County, with hail and rain reaching the area.

Jim Kalina, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service station in Boulder, said a storm moving from northwest to southeast produced up to 1 1/4-inch hail in the Greeley area.

A small amount of rain also came to the area, but Kalina said it was likely 1/4-inch or less.

The storm warning, which included Milton Reservoir, Lucerne, LaSalle, Kersey, Evans, Eaton and Greeley, was expired by 4:15 p.m., according to the weather service.

Kalina said the coming week is expected to be warm and dry, with a Mother’s Day high of 82. Temperatures will continue to climb through the beginning of the week, with highs of 84 on Monday and 87 on Tuesday.
